When the zombie outbreak starts YOU MUST KNOW WHAT TO GROW FOR FOOD! Consider me your savior as this list will get you through the outbreak as long as you follow it carefully!
Daucus carota subsp or carrots are an easy choice on this list. Carrots can be grown from the top of a carrot you eat, take it and bury it in soil water and fertilize it and in just 2 to 4 months you have a new carrot! This makes it a fast renewable food source. The leaves from a carrot can be used as a mouthwash to keep your dental health up with will be important as you won't have much time to brush your teeth. It can be used as a tea as well.
_Ananas comosus _ Is a great choice to start for the start of a zombie apocalypse as they don't grow on trees. Pineapples can take 18 to 24 months to grow. caring for it is easy as you water from the top and fertilize it with banana water and it will grow. The leaves from the plant can be weaved together to make fine cloth and eating the leaves from the plant itself is thought to have health benefits making it an ideal for a zombie apocalypse where all materials are helpful.
Musa acuminata or the Banana is a good plant for a zombie apocalypse for several reasons. For one it doesn't grow on a tree. Bananas are great for fertilizing other plants. its growth time from seeds, it takes several months to grow to full size this is hardly a downside as after they are grown they flower several times. banana peels can be used to fertilize other foods. The peels also can relieve rashes and burns, make vinegar, or even polish leather to make it last longer.
Solanum tuberosum or the potato will save your life during the apocalypse. Potatoes only take 90 days to grow and can grow almost anywhere. Potatoes also can aid in healing sunburns. the edible part of a potato is the roots the flower is an angiosperm! The plant can reproduce all by itself so using one potato you could make a whole field. They do this in the flower where the pistil (containing the stomata, style, ovary, and ovule) is fertilized by the stamen( made up of the Anther and filament)
_ Rosa rosaceae_ Seems like a strange choice on this list but it fits for several reasons. For one rose can be used in teas. Rose can also be used in the long game as a wall against the zombies. Rose also is used in jelly to flavor your food.
Arachis hypogaea or the Peanut is on this list for a few reasons but all of them include eating them. eating peanuts is proven to have several health benefits, this is essential as staying healthy while zombies knock on your door is vital.
Aloe vera This plant is used to help with sunburns and itches from bug bites. With zombies running around you will have little to no time to worry about bugs and sunburns so aloe will be essential to prevent you from being caught and killed.
Bambusa vulgaris Is another thing on this list no one expected but it's extremely versatile. bamboo can be used to make traps, walls, or be used as scaffolding like in china. bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world! meaning while your neighbor is being devoured you will be safe behind your rose bush and bamboo walls munching on potatoes.
Beta vulgaris In a zombie apocalypse you are gonna feel super hopeless, so why not lighten your mood by making red velvet cake! beets have many ways you can cook them and with their high sugar content, they make great bases for a cake.
Allium cepa Is A must for any zombie apocalypse! Onions work as a pesticide to keep the rest of your plants from being eaten by bugs and getting you killed. they also de-rust metal tools, be insect repellent on you, and be used in teas.
